NFL fantasy football news and player signals for Sunday, July 26, 2026

Receiver who missed second half of last season with shin injury; was not placed on PUP list Monday, though source notes this could simply mean he hasn't reported and had a physical yet; status worth watching as camp nears.

Running back recovering from ACL injury suffered last January; was not placed on PUP list Monday, though source notes this could simply mean he hasn't reported and had a physical yet; status worth watching as camp nears.

Cornerback placed on PUP list Monday; former receiver making switch to cornerback; did not take part in drills during offseason program after being placed on injured reserve last November with a leg injury; Seahawks hope his 6-foot-5 height could make him a better fit at cornerback than receiver, where roster spots appear set heading into camp.

Running back placed on PUP list Monday; suffered ACL injury early in training camp last year and did not take part in on-field drills during offseason program; projected to compete for roster spot once healthy.

Kenneth Walker III, the Super Bowl MVP, departed the Seahawks; Zach Charbonnet was drafted in the first round to help replace him.

Zach Charbonnet was taken in the first round to help replace departed Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III; he has been open about the impact his mother Jessica Butler's battle with breast cancer — she was declared cancer-free in 2017 — has had on his life and football career, providing compelling personal narrative material for Hard Knocks coverage.

Jalen Coker received prominent Hard Knocks spotlight during the 2024 Chicago Bears coverage, where his quest to retain a roster spot was a key storyline; he was featured discussing his former pet ferret Crash, which he acquired after a trip to PetSmart in Moscow, Idaho during a USC trip to play Washington State. Bears GM Ryan Poles rejected a trade offer for him, demanding at least a third-round pick, but Coker was cut shortly after and landed with the Seahawks late last season, appearing in 23 special teams snaps in the Super Bowl. He is firmly on the bubble as camp begins and could provide compelling viewing again.

Brady Russell has a compelling backstory as an undrafted free agent who signed with the Eagles before joining the Seahawks in 2023 and earning the de facto special teams captain role last season; his father Randy is a former Marine Corps pilot with eight wartime deployments, and Russell earned a Colorado scholarship after joining as a walk-on. A new two-year contract worth up to $4.8 million secures his roster spot for this season, though his quest to earn a larger role could provide intriguing Hard Knocks narrative material.

The Seahawks are hoping for more production from second-year tight end Arroyo as they try to get their tight ends even more involved in the offense.

The Seahawks are hoping for more production from second-year player Horton as they look to expand their passing attack beyond Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

The offseason has been filled with speculation that the Seahawks will get the ball more to Shaheed as they look to diversify their passing attack beyond Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Charbonnet is recovering from an ACL injury suffered in the playoff win over the 49ers on Jan. 18; the expectation is that mid- to late October might be a best-case scenario for his return, though it will become clearer once camp begins when he might be back.

Free-agent signee Wilson figures to have a role in the Seahawks' running back committee as they replace Kenneth Walker III's production while Zach Charbonnet recovers from an ACL injury.

Holani, a third-year player, figures to have a role in the Seahawks' running back committee and seems a good fit for the third-down role, which he essentially held in the NFC title game and Super Bowl after Zach Charbonnet's injury.

The Seahawks used the 32nd overall pick on Price as a first-round running back to replace Kenneth Walker III; the source expects Price will emerge as the starter by the regular season opener Sept. 9 against New England, though the team may ease him into the role during camp while stressing that everything must be earned on the defending Super Bowl champions.

Smith-Njigba recorded 1,793 receiving yards last season—the eighth-most in NFL history—at just 23 years old, the second-youngest player on the list of top 10 receiving seasons in league history. The source notes that topping this historic season won't be easy, as each of the top 14 receiving seasons is by a different player, but after last year's performance you'd be taking a risk to bet against him repeating elite production.

The Indiana State standout returner undrafted free agent receiver will try to use special teams to catch the eye of coaches.

The Wisconsin product undrafted free agent tight end from Rockwall, Texas (same hometown as Jaxon Smith-Njigba) is one of just six tight ends listed on the Seahawks roster, providing a path to roster consideration.

The Florida State grad undrafted free agent linebacker is hoping to forge a role as an edge player.

The Kansas product sixth-round pick will vie for a roster spot at the back end of the receiving rotation and on special teams.

The 32nd overall pick from Notre Dame is expected to contend for starting running back duties and help replace departed Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III; got plenty of work in the offseason program and appears ready to hit the ground running in camp to compete for significant roles this season.

St. Brown appeared on seven of eight ballots in the AP preseason survey of top receivers entering 2026. The second-team All-Pro (after earning first-team honors the previous two seasons) had 117 receptions, 1,401 yards receiving, and 11 touchdowns last season for the Lions, extending his streak to four straight seasons with over 100 receptions and over 1,100 yards receiving.

Jefferson received one first-place vote in the AP preseason survey of top receivers entering 2026, appearing on seven ballots with two second-place votes. The two-time All-Pro had a down season with 84 catches for 1,048 yards and two touchdowns while catching passes from three different Vikings quarterbacks. Over his six NFL seasons, he has averaged 97 catches, 1,413 yards, and seven touchdowns.

Nacua received one first-place vote in the AP preseason survey of top receivers entering 2026, appearing on seven of eight ballots with three second-place votes. The unanimous All-Pro selection led the NFL with 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, and has averaged 104 catches, 1,397 yards receiving, and six touchdowns over his three NFL seasons, providing Matthew Stafford with an elite target.

Chase received two first-place votes in the AP preseason survey of top receivers entering 2026, finishing second overall. The unanimous All-Pro selection had 125 receptions, 1,412 yards receiving, and eight touchdowns last season after earning the receiving triple crown in 2024. He tied Justin Jefferson for first place in this same survey last year.

Smith-Njigba received a four-year, $168.6 million extension averaging $42.15 million annually with over $120 million guaranteed, making it the biggest contract for a wide receiver in NFL history. This came after he won the AP Offensive Player of the Year award and helped the Seahawks win the Super Bowl.

Smith-Njigba was voted the NFL's top wide receiver by The Associated Press preseason survey panel of eight pro football writers, receiving four first-place votes, three thirds, and a fourth (10, 3, and 1 points respectively). The 24-year-old set team records with 1,793 receiving yards and 119 receptions last season, earned a unanimous All-Pro selection, and had nine 100-yard receiving games during the regular season while helping Seattle win its second Super Bowl in franchise history.

Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in March 2025 and acquired by the New York Jets this year; he is expected to be their starting quarterback this upcoming season. A battery investigation involving Smith has been marked inactive by the Davie Police Department after an incident on June 21, with conflicting accounts and limited evidence preventing determination of a primary aggressor. The case was marked inactive on July 10 after neither Smith nor the other party provided statements under oath.

Milroe is listed as a client of agent Nicole Lynn, who represents multiple NFL players including cornerback Terrion Arnold.

Darnell Mooney is listed as a lock at the wide receiver position for the New York Giants' 53-man roster projection heading into training camp.

Calvin Austin is listed as a lock at the wide receiver position for the New York Giants' 53-man roster projection heading into training camp.

Malik Nabers is listed as a lock at the wide receiver position for the New York Giants' 53-man roster projection heading into training camp.

The source argues that Jalen Hurts has a strong chance to become the best quarterback in Philadelphia Eagles history. At 27 years old (turning 28 in August), his career numbers are approximately halfway to Donovan McNabb's career totals, and he has the advantage of two Super Bowl appearances and one ring with high-level playoff performance. If he remains with the Eagles long enough, he can either match or come close to McNabb's legacy.

The source notes that Jalen Hurts fell from No. 9 in ESPN's 2025 quarterback rankings to No. 17 in 2026, despite winning more games than several quarterbacks ranked ahead of him including Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, Drake Maye, Jared Goff, and Caleb Williams. The source questions whether these higher-ranked QBs are truly better than Hurts, suggesting his ranking may not reflect his actual performance and winning record.

Barkley reflected on his viral reverse hurdle play against Jacksonville in November 2024, saying he doesn't want to be remembered solely for that moment despite acknowledging it was 'something pretty cool' and 'a play I'll never forget.' He emphasized readiness to move forward: 'I'm happy I was able to make that play. But I'm ready for the next one.'

Hyatt is listed as a long shot for the Giants 53-man roster projection at wide receiver, indicating low probability of making the roster heading into training camp.

Hodgins is listed as a bubble player for the Giants 53-man roster projection, indicating uncertain roster status heading into training camp.

Berrios is listed as a bubble player for the Giants 53-man roster projection; the source notes he could win a roster spot if the Giants prioritize special teams contributions.

Smith-Schuster is listed as a bubble player for the Giants 53-man roster projection, indicating uncertain roster status heading into training camp.

Beckham is listed as a bubble player for the Giants 53-man roster projection; the source notes he could secure a roster spot if he remains healthy through training camp and practices consistently, but this remains uncertain.

Slayton is listed as a lock at wide receiver for the Giants 53-man roster projection, indicating secure roster status heading into training camp.

Nabers avoided the PUP list heading into Giants training camp, which the source characterizes as positive development; however, this does not guarantee Week 1 readiness or that he will perform at 2024 levels immediately.

Mooney is listed as a lock at wide receiver for the Giants' 53-man roster projection heading into training camp, indicating he is a secure roster spot with no competition for his position.

Austin is listed as a lock at wide receiver for the Giants' 53-man roster projection heading into training camp, indicating he is a secure roster spot with no competition for his position.

Slayton is listed as a lock at wide receiver for the Giants' 53-man roster projection heading into training camp, indicating he is a secure roster spot with no competition for his position.

Nabers is listed as a lock at wide receiver for the Giants' 53-man roster projection heading into training camp, indicating he is a secure roster spot with no competition for his position.

Prescott is the longest-tenured starting quarterback in the entire NFL with respect to the team he plays for. The source notes that the Cowboys are beginning to look for a successor to Prescott, and that he is 'at least going to be quarterbacking the Cowboys through the 2027 season.' In 2025, Prescott threw 30 TDs and 10 INTs for 4,552 passing yards, which the source cites as having 'an argument' for being better than Jalen Hurts.

Lemon is competing to fill the WR2 role heading into Eagles training camp. The source identifies 'Will Makai Lemon perform well enough to slide into that WR2 role?' as one of the intriguing camp storylines, indicating the position is open and his performance in camp will determine whether he secures the role or the team pursues external options.

The source projects Hurts has 'a good chance to go down as the best QB in Eagles history.' His career numbers are approximately halfway to Donovan McNabb's career totals, but at age 27 (turning 28 in August), Hurts has time to match or exceed McNabb's legacy. Hurts holds advantages over McNabb including two Super Bowl appearances and one ring, plus high-level playoff performance. If he remains with Philadelphia long enough, he can either catch or come close to McNabb's career achievements.

Hurts fell from No. 9 in ESPN's 2025 quarterback rankings to No. 17 in 2026 according to Jeremy Fowler's annual executive evaluation. The source questions whether Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, Drake Maye, Jared Goff, and Caleb Williams are truly better than Hurts, noting that only Prescott (30 TDs, 10 INTs, 4,552 passing yards) has a clear statistical argument. The source argues NFL execs should weight winning more heavily in their evaluations.

Barkley reflected on his viral reverse hurdle play against Jacksonville in November 2024, saying he realizes it was 'something pretty cool' and 'a play I'll never forget,' but emphasized he doesn't want to be defined by it: 'I'm happy I was able to make that play. But I'm ready for the next one.' The source notes he never anticipated the play would carry such lasting cultural relevance two years later.

Beckham is listed as a bubble player for the Giants' 53-man roster projection at wide receiver; he could secure a roster spot if he remains healthy through training camp and practices consistently, but his status remains uncertain.

Nabers avoided the PUP list heading into Giants training camp, which the source characterizes as positive development; however, this does not guarantee Week 1 readiness or that he will perform at his 2024 level immediately.

Mooney is listed as a lock at wide receiver for the NY Giants' 53-man roster projection heading into training camp.

Nabers is listed as a lock at wide receiver for the NY Giants' 53-man roster projection heading into training camp.

Lemon is a training camp storyline for the Eagles, with the source asking whether he can 'perform well enough to slide into that WR2 role.' His performance in camp will determine whether he can secure a significant role in the Eagles' receiving corps.

Hurts fell from No. 9 in ESPN's 2025 quarterback rankings to No. 17 in 2026 according to Jeremy Fowler's annual executive evaluation. The source questions whether Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, Drake Maye, Jared Goff, and Caleb Williams are truly better than Hurts, noting that Prescott's 2025 production (30 TDs, 10 INTs, 4,552 passing yards) provides an argument but the others may not. The source argues NFL execs should weigh winning more heavily in their evaluations.

Barkley reflected on his viral reverse hurdle play against Jacksonville in November 2024, saying he realizes it was 'something pretty cool' and 'a play I'll never forget,' but emphasized he doesn't want to be defined by that single moment: 'I'm happy I was able to make that play. But I'm ready for the next one.' The source notes the play has carried significant cultural relevance two years after it occurred.

The source notes that Drake Maye will be hunting mismatches all year long with defenses hyper-focused on A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs on the outside. Maye has displayed a tremendous connection with Kayshon Boutte on the practice field through the first two days of camp.

The source identifies Eli Raridon as a rookie third-round pick in the Patriots' thin tight end depth chart behind Hunter Henry.

The source identifies Hunter Henry as the Patriots' stalwart tight end and the only veteran tight end on the depth chart. The rest of the tight end room consists of Eli Raridon (rookie third-round pick), CJ Dippre (20 career offensive snaps, undrafted, on PUP list), Tanner Arkin and Jeremiah Franklin (undrafted rookies), Mitch Van Vooren (former D3 player with zero NFL snaps), and Jack Westover (undrafted, nine snaps in 2024).

The source notes that despite speculation Boutte would be moved to clear receiver room space, no trade has transpired. Boutte has continued to display a tremendous connection with Drake Maye on the practice field through the first two days of camp, indicating he remains a key part of the Patriots' receiver plans.

The source identifies Romeo Doubs as one of two major wide receiver additions (along with A.J. Brown) that will crowd the Patriots' receiver room and limit Mack Hollins' opportunities at the position in 2026.

The source identifies A.J. Brown as one of two major wide receiver additions (along with Romeo Doubs) that will crowd the Patriots' receiver room and limit Mack Hollins' opportunities at the position in 2026.

The source highlights Hollins' willingness to accept role flexibility and his track record of versatility as undervalued assets. Hollins stated 'I'm just a ballplayer. I just want to win games. Like if you put me in the backfield, I'll run the ball if that's what it's going to be.' The source notes his willingness is not mere boilerplate but backed by his actual performance: he blocks on run plays, plays special teams, and leads the locker room. Given the Patriots' thin tight end depth and crowded receiver room, the source argues utilizing Hollins as a quasi-tight end might be 'not just prudent. It might be necessary.'

The source notes that Hollins' 2025 production—leading all Patriots receivers in snap counts at 60 percent, third in targets (65) and yards (550)—is unlikely to repeat in 2026. With the Patriots adding A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, and Kayshon Boutte maintaining a strong connection with Drake Maye, Hollins will have a difficult time carving out a traditional receiver role in the crowded offense.

The source proposes Hollins could transition to a hybrid receiver/tight end role in the Patriots' offense due to crowded receiver room with A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs additions. At 6-foot-4, 221 pounds, Hollins has tight end height and demonstrated blocking willingness; he lined up in the slot 151 times and inside 82 times last year. With Hunter Henry as the only veteran tight end and the rest of the depth chart filled with rookies and undrafted players, the source argues utilizing Hollins inside could create severe mismatches against linebackers while leveraging his massive catch radius. Hollins' 4,000+ career NFL snaps and willingness to do whatever coaches ask make this role feasible.

Wide receiver placed on injured reserve by the Patriots, ending his 2025 campaign just two practices into training camp. Webb, a 25-year-old undrafted 2025 signing (5-foot-11, 198-pound returner), had caught six passes for 80 yards and one touchdown during his rookie preseason before being waived at the 53-man deadline last August. He spent time on the practice squad and reached a futures contract following Super Bowl LX, but the injury settlement effectively removes him from the active roster.

Davante Adams received a very high volume of targets in the Rams' explosive passing game but caught just one of every two passes on average, indicating efficiency losses and untapped upside for the offense in 2026.

Stafford's accuracy profile presents a paradox: he throws perfectly aimed passes as often as any other quarterback but also misses throws at a rate that puts him towards the bottom of the NFL. While the Rams had one of the most explosive passing games in the league last year, they weren't always efficient, leaving room for improvement in 2026.

Stafford's 2025 MVP season benefited significantly from turnover luck that is primed for regression in 2026. According to PFF's interception modeling, he threw nearly seven fewer interceptions than expected; two came from turnover-worthy plays and 4.5 from pure good fortune on non-turnover-worthy throws. Additionally, opposing defenders dropped nine would-be interceptions. Stafford finished with nine interceptions but should have been closer to 16 when accounting for all luck factors. This regression risk could derail another MVP campaign and spoil LA's Super Bowl expectations.

Stafford moved from a heavily shotgun-dependent quarterback to playing under center more often than any other NFL quarterback in 2025, a scheme wrinkle designed by Sean McVay to marry the run and pass games with tight ends and receivers disguised as blockers. His PFF passing grade was better under center than in the shotgun, leveraging his elite processing ability and background suited to this era-gone-by approach.

Beckham's roster spot contingency depends on making it through training camp healthy and practicing consistently; the source notes this remains uncertain, placing him on the bubble for the Giants' 53-man roster.

The Giants received positive news that Nabers will avoid the PUP list heading into training camp, though this does not guarantee Week 1 readiness or that he will immediately perform at his 2024 level.

Dak Prescott is mentioned in the context of NFL executive quarterback rankings, with the source noting that Prescott's 2024 performance (30 TDs vs. 10 INTs, 4,552 yards passing) gives him an argument for being ranked ahead of Jalen Hurts, though the source questions whether other quarterbacks ranked ahead of Hurts have comparable credentials.

Beaux Collins is listed as a longshot for the Giants' 53-man roster at wide receiver, indicating his roster spot is unlikely and he faces significant competition to make the team.

Xavier Gipson is listed as a longshot for the Giants' 53-man roster at wide receiver, indicating his roster spot is unlikely and he faces significant competition to make the team.

Jalin Hyatt is listed as a longshot for the Giants' 53-man roster at wide receiver, indicating his roster spot is unlikely and he faces significant competition to make the team.

Isaiah Hodgins is listed as a bubble player for the Giants' 53-man roster at wide receiver, indicating his roster spot is not guaranteed and will be determined during training camp.

Calvin Austin is listed as a lock for the Giants' 53-man roster at wide receiver, indicating he is a secure roster spot heading into training camp.

Darius Slayton is listed as a lock for the Giants' 53-man roster at wide receiver, indicating he is a secure roster spot heading into training camp.

Malik Nabers received positive injury news when it was reported that he would avoid the PUP list heading into Giants training camp. The source notes this 'doesn't guarantee that he will be ready Week 1, or that he will be the Nabers of 2024 right away, but it was a positive development,' suggesting his recovery is on track but his full availability and performance level remain to be determined.

The source notes that Jalen Hurts, at 27 years old (turning 28 in August), has career numbers about halfway to Donovan McNabb's all-time Eagles record but is significantly younger, giving him the opportunity to either match or come close to McNabb's legacy if he remains with Philadelphia long-term. Hurts also has the advantage of two Super Bowl appearances and one ring, plus high-level playoff performance, positioning him as a potential all-time Eagles great.

The source argues that Jalen Hurts' ranking among NFL executives fell from No. 9 in 2025 to No. 17 in 2026, which the source questions as potentially unfair. The source contends that Hurts' winning record and performance should weigh more heavily in executive evaluations than the rankings suggest, implying his current market valuation may be too low relative to his actual performance and winning ability compared to peers like Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, Drake Maye, Jared Goff, and Caleb Williams.

Barkley reflected on the viral reverse hurdle play from two years prior, saying he realized it was 'something pretty cool' and 'a play I'll never forget,' but emphasized he does not want to be remembered for that single play, stating 'I'm happy I was able to make that play. But I'm ready for the next one.' This suggests his focus is on moving forward with his Eagles tenure rather than dwelling on past highlights.

Vannett was added to the Seahawks tight end roster, further limiting Lance Mason's pathway to make the team.

Kallerup is mentioned as a tight end on the Seahawks roster; Lance Mason likely has more upside as a receiving tight end than Kallerup but faces a crowded depth chart.

Holani is cited as one of the UDFA gems John Schneider has consistently found during his tenure as Seahawks general manager, signed right away as a rookie.

Bobo is cited as one of the UDFA gems John Schneider has consistently found during his tenure as Seahawks general manager, signed right away as a rookie.

The wide receiver is almost certainly not making the Seahawks roster at the position; Seattle's top five receivers are set in stone and the competition is too deep. Rochelle's only realistic pathway is through his deep kick and punt return experience from Indiana State.

The Wisconsin tight end caught 30 receptions for 398 yards and four touchdowns on a historically poor offense. He likely has more upside as a receiving tight end than Nick Kallerup, but that's his only realistic pathway to the roster given Seattle's veteran and young talent mix at the top of the depth chart and the recent addition of Nick Vannett. The source assesses the practice squad as Mason's realistic goal.

The EDGE prospect is traits over production; he transferred from Georgia to Florida State to Oklahoma and recorded only eight total sacks across those programs. He does possess an 81-inch wingspan and an interesting athletic profile. Like Hubbard, his path is the fifth EDGE spot, but the source is less bullish on his prospects compared to Hubbard.

Tight end placed on PUP list after suffering an unknown injury during spring practices. Status clarification was expected when coach Dan Campbell met with media ahead of the first training camp practice.

McCarthy, the No. 10 pick of the 2024 draft, is fighting for his football future with the Vikings after only 10 NFL starts. Mackey suggests the Vikings may be keeping McCarthy's value as high as possible by maintaining the QB competition, particularly given that Kyler Murray's camp rejected a multi-year contract offer and instead opted for a one-year deal to bet on themselves and see where 2027 free agency takes them.

Murray signed a one-year deal with the Vikings in March and is the heavy favorite to win the starting QB job in Week 1. However, Kevin Seifert notes that despite displaying the arm talent necessary to succeed in Kevin O'Connell's complex offense over his previous seven NFL seasons, the critical question is how long it will take him to grow accustomed to the scheme, which requires active eyes and patient feet in the pocket. Murray admitted during OTAs that it had been a challenge to pursue the necessary familiarity while taking only half the reps.

Kyler Murray is battling JJ McCarthy for the Vikings QB1 role; ESPN's Kevin Seifert gave the edge to Murray in a column published Thursday morning, suggesting Murray has the advantage in the competition despite the organization framing it as open.

Thor Nystrom of SKOR North compared Vikings GM Nolan Teasley's potential approach to Jordan Addison to the DK Metcalf trade precedent; Addison will be heading into the last year of his rookie deal one offseason from now, making him a potential mid-season trade candidate before his 2027 extension, with Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders identified as potential suitors willing to offer a first-round pick.

JJ McCarthy, a top-10 pick of the organization in 2024, is currently battling Kyler Murray for the QB1 role with training camp set to begin in late July; Phil Mackey of SKOR North believes the Vikings may be preserving McCarthy's trade value by framing the competition as genuine while potentially testing Murray for a long-term contract.

Dawson Knox is part of the Bills' talented tight end group alongside Dalton Kincaid and Jackson Hawes, providing Josh Allen with multiple pass-catching options at the position.

Khalil Shakir remains part of the Bills' wide receiver room alongside DJ Moore, Joshua Palmer, Keon Coleman, and rookie Skyler Bell as Josh Allen's receiving options.

Keon Coleman is positioned as a potential breakout candidate in the Bills' wide receiver room, which now includes DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, and rookie Skyler Bell alongside Josh Allen.

DJ Moore was acquired in a trade with the Chicago Bears to reunite with Joe Brady, his offensive coordinator with the Carolina Panthers, with the goal of helping Moore rediscover his form as a 1,000-yard receiving threat after his worst season as a pro.

Former NFL MVP Josh Allen is expected to lead the Bills to the franchise's first Super Bowl in 2026, with high expectations entering the season as the team has upgraded its passing game weapons.

team drills and chat up John Lynch. Also saw Isaac Guerendo doing the same and DT Alfred Collins do an extensive workout on the side. Again, Collins seems to be on the quickest timeline to return. - Among those getting return opportunities during special teams period: Junior Bergen, Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing, Will Pauling. - That'll do it for today. Welcome back everyone. Back again tomorrow from Bay Area Stadium, er, uh, Levi's (I think we are allowed to call it that again).

Nick Wagoner gives an update on the open spot at safety: “It looks like there will be a battle again at safety. Marques Sigle and Ji'Ayir Brown were first up with Malik Mustapha rotating a bit with Sigle in this practice. Sigle had an interception on a ball thrown right to him by Mac Jones and Mustapha later had a nice PBU on a deep ball intended for WR Ricky Pearsall.”

Holiday also beat cornerback Mansoor Delane (No. 6 overall pick) for a touchdown during the same period, demonstrating he is getting opportunities in early camp work.

Wide receiver Cyrus Allen is competing for the No. 4 receiver spot against Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals. With the main core of receivers absent until Wednesday, Allen has been getting significant reps with Mahomes and Andy Reid. On Sunday, he was on the receiving end of one of the highlights of practice when Mahomes put up a ball for Allen to jump up and secure in traffic towards the back of the end zone. Allen is regarded as a strong route runner and has spent one-on-one time with Reid working on pre-snap awareness and coverage anticipation. He is the only one of the three No. 4 receiver competitors getting three days as Mahomes' top target.

Mahomes was fully cleared for practice to begin training camp and participated in all individual and 7-on-7 drills without issues on Saturday and Sunday.

Wide receiver Cyrus Allen is taking advantage of time with Mahomes and Reid while the main core of receivers is not at camp. From Sunday's practice observations, Allen was on the receiving end of one of the highlights of practice when Mahomes put up a ball for Allen to jump up and secure in traffic towards the back of the end zone. Allen has been regarded as a strong route runner all offseason and spent a few minutes listening to head coach Andy Reid in a one-on-one session between reps, working on pre-snap awareness to better anticipate secondary coverage.

On Saturday, Mahomes made a beautiful no-look pass right between the hashes in redzone 7-on-7 work on a slant with spot-on timing, velocity and placement between two zone defenders (though it was dropped). He also started with a good back pylon throw to wide receiver Jimmy Holiday for a touchdown in 7-on-7.

Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble commented on Scourton's injury, describing it as a "freak accident" and noting the team's disappointment at losing a key defensive piece during the acclimation period.

Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble commented on Nic Scourton's injury, noting that Scourton was a 'really, really good player' who had worked hard in the offseason and was expected to have his best year yet. Tremble's remarks suggest Scourton was positioned for a significant role in the Panthers' defense alongside new pass rusher Jaelan Phillips.

Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble characterized Nic Scourton's ACL injury as a 'freak accident' on Sunday, emphasizing that the injury was not due to anyone's tempo or intensity level. Tremble noted that Scourton 'worked his butt off this offseason' and that 'this was gonna be his best year yet,' but the injury was simply an unfortunate occurrence at practice that 'kind of sucked the life out of us when we saw it happen.'

Kirk Cousins is expected to get the majority of first-team reps during Raiders training camp, with the first overall pick Fernando Mendoza receiving a sprinkling of work. The veteran quarterback will be part of the storyline around whether the rookie can push past him to become the team's starter.

The first overall pick signed his rookie deal and will get a sprinkling of work with the first team during Raiders training camp while Kirk Cousins gets the rest of the starter reps. Mendoza frames the quarterback competition as cooperative rather than adversarial, emphasizing mutual improvement: 'Competing with each other [is] pushing each other to be the best quarterback we can possibly be for the Las Vegas Raiders.' He acknowledges the complexity of the offense and his focus on learning from Cousins, head coach Klint Kubiak, and others, stating 'It's basically all in the palm of my hand and I just need to take advantage of it.'

Davante Adams received a very high volume of targets in the Rams' 2025 passing game but on average caught just one of every two passes, indicating the Rams are leaving efficiency on the bone despite having one of the most explosive passing games in the league.

Stafford throws perfectly aimed passes as often as any other quarterback but also misses throws at a rate that puts him towards the bottom of the NFL, creating a strange juxtaposition in his accuracy profile. While the Rams had one of the most explosive passing games in the league last year, they weren't always efficient; the source notes this is an area where their fortunes have potential to improve into the new year.

Stafford threw nearly seven fewer interceptions than expected in 2025 according to PFF's interception modeling; two came from turnover-worthy plays and 4.5 were purely good fortune through non-turnover-worthy throws where nothing went wrong. With nine interceptions, he should have been closer to 16 when all said and done. Additionally, opposing defenders dropped nine of Stafford's would-be interceptions. The source identifies this as an area where Stafford is due for regression in 2026, and notes that even if he plays just as well, worse interception totals could derail another MVP campaign and spoil LA's Super Bowl expectations.

Stafford was deployed under center more often than any other quarterback in the NFL in 2025, a scheme wrinkle from Sean McVay that married the run and pass games with tight ends and receivers disguised as blockers leaking into routes. Stafford's PFF passing grade was better under center than in the shotgun, and the source notes he is one of the best processors in the league and a quarterback of an era gone by who excels in this facet while other quarterbacks lack the same depth of background.

UDFA Miller Moss, who was Caleb Williams' backup at USC for two years, impressed during training camp and could catch Ben Johnson's eye for a practice squad spot given his upside. Bears offensive coordinator Press Taylor praised his tape: "His tape popped off. This is a player that can play on time, that can be an accurate passer, that can win from the pocket, and has enough ability to move around when need be. You just saw a poise. You see an experienced guy that played a lot of football." Moss will look to put together strong preseason tape to secure a roster spot.

Keenum was brought in as a veteran presence and has been integral to the Bears' 2026 season and Caleb Williams' growth. Head coach Ben Johnson credited him heavily: "He's been an integral part of what we've done. He's been tremendous in terms of Caleb's growth... His experience has been something that all these young players can really lean into." Keenum has 66 regular-season starts and won 11 games as Minnesota's starter in 2017, reaching the NFC Championship. At 38 years old, he serves as the third QB option but remains capable of playing at a high level.

Bagent is the primary backup to Caleb Williams and would be the first man up if Williams were unavailable. Despite minimal work since his rookie year, he put together quality tape during preseason and has benefited from coaching by Ben Johnson and the Bears' offensive staff. He signed a 2-year, $10 million deal last year and could command an even bigger payday when he becomes a free agent in 2028.

Williams is on the cusp of something special with significant room to grow; he was voted number 51 on the NFL's Top 100 Players list after a strong 2025 season. He emphasized his own mindset: "There's so much to unlock, there's so much to get better at, there's so much left of ball for me and us and accolades that we'll have as a team." Paired with head coach Ben Johnson, their parallel drive for greatness creates an ideal QB/head coach dynamic for continued development.

Slovis is likely on the chopping block after the preseason and is not expected to remain on the Cardinals' roster.

Beck is the developmental quarterback piece in Arizona's depth chart and could end up starting later in the season.

Minshew is the Cardinals' backup quarterback and will work with the second string as Brissett returns to first-string reps. The source notes Minshew is a capable backup that can also step in as a starter if needed.

Brissett's holdout resolved with a reworked one-year deal worth $15.5 million, rising to $21 million with incentives—nearly double his original two-year, $12.5 million contract. The revised deal locks him in as Arizona's starting quarterback for 2026 after he took over mid-2025 when Kyler Murray suffered a season-ending foot injury. Head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed Brissett returns to first-string reps as Gardner Minshew works with the second string.

Slovis is the fourth-string quarterback on Arizona's depth chart and is likely on the chopping block after the preseason.

Beck is the third-string quarterback on Arizona's depth chart and is characterized as the developmental piece that could end up starting later in the season.

Minshew is Arizona's backup quarterback behind Brissett. He will work with the second string as Brissett returns to first-string reps during training camp. The source notes Minshew is a capable backup that can also step in as a starter if needed, despite being well-traveled.

Brissett appeared in 14 games (12 starts) in 2025, leading Arizona to a 1-11 record. He completed 64.9% of his passes for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He is now working with new head coach Mike LaFleur to install his offense during training camp.

Brissett's holdout resolved with a reworked one-year deal worth $15.5 million, up to $21 million with incentives—nearly double his original two-year, $12.5 million contract. The revised deal locks him in as Arizona's starting quarterback for 2026 after he took over mid-2025 when Kyler Murray suffered a season-ending foot injury. Head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed Brissett returns to first-string reps as Gardner Minshew works with the second string.

Montgomery was traded from the Detroit Lions to the Houston Texans during the 2026 offseason, representing a significant depth chart and team change.

Slovis is likely on the chopping block after the preseason, indicating he is the fourth-string QB in Arizona's depth chart and faces roster cuts.

Beck is positioned as the developmental piece in Arizona's QB depth chart behind Brissett and Minshew, with potential to start later in the season if circumstances change.

Minshew moves to second-string duties as Brissett returns to starter reps with the Cardinals. The source notes Minshew is a capable backup that can step in as a starter if needed, but is clearly behind Brissett in the depth chart.

Brissett's holdout resolved with a reworked one-year deal worth $15.5 million, rising to $21 million with incentives—nearly double his original two-year, $12.5 million contract. The revised deal locks him in as Arizona's starting quarterback for 2026 after he led the Cardinals to a 1-11 record in 2025 (14 games, 12 starts, 64.9% completion, 3,366 yards, 23 TDs, 8 INTs). Head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed Brissett returns to first-string reps as Gardner Minshew works with the second string.

Murray suffered a season-ending foot injury in 2025, which led to Jacoby Brissett taking over as the Cardinals' starting quarterback.

Moore was traded from the Chicago Bears to the Buffalo Bills during the 2026 offseason.

Montgomery was traded from the Detroit Lions to the Houston Texans during the 2026 offseason.

Slovis is likely on the chopping block after the preseason, indicating he is not part of the Cardinals' long-term quarterback plans.

Beck is the developmental piece in the Cardinals' quarterback room and could end up starting later in the season, according to the depth chart analysis.

Minshew is the Cardinals' backup quarterback and will work with the second string as Brissett returns to first-string reps. The source notes Minshew is a capable backup that can also step in as a starter if needed, despite being well-traveled.

Brissett appeared in 14 games (12 starts) in 2025, leading Arizona to a 1-11 record. He completed 64.9% of his passes for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He will work with new head coach Mike LaFleur's offense during training camp and preseason, beginning with the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 6 against Carolina.

Brissett's reworked one-year contract worth $15.5 million (up to $21 million with incentives) represents a sizable raise over his initial two-year, $12.5 million deal ($6.25 million AAV), nearly doubling the total value if he hits all incentives. The revised deal locks him in as the Cardinals' starter for 2026 after he took over mid-2025 when Kyler Murray suffered a season-ending foot injury. Head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed Brissett returns to first-string reps as Gardner Minshew works with the second string.

Slovis is fourth on the Cardinals' 2026 quarterback depth chart and is likely on the chopping block after the preseason, indicating minimal roster security and low probability of contributing to the team's 2026 season.

Beck is the developmental quarterback piece in Arizona's 2026 depth chart behind Brissett and Minshew. The source characterizes him as a developmental prospect that could end up starting later in the season.
